More commonly encountered as 図画 (zuga).

From Middle Chinese 畫圖 (MC hweaH|hweak du, literally “write, draw + diagram, picture”). The shift in pronunciation for the second character, from earlier goon /zu/ to later kan'on /to/, may have been influenced by, or based on a reborrowing from, a later development in Chinese. Compare modern Mandarin reading huàtú, Min Nan ōa-tô͘.

• IPA^(key): [ɡa̠to̞]

画(が)図(と) • (gato) ^{←ぐわと (gwato)?}

1. a drawing, an illustration
